When that is switched off, Claude Code clears the kept copy. It now also clears the copies kept for subagents, helper agents Claude starts for part of a task. Before, only the main copy was cleared.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis frees memory that was still being held for subagent requests after keeping them was switched off.\n\n- Area: API Requests\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
